10:46 Yunus (Jonas)

أي‏:‏ لا تحزن أيها الرسول على هؤلاء المكذبين، ولا تستعجل لهم، فإنهم لا بد أن يصيبهم الذي نعدهم من العذاب‏.‏ إما في الدنيا فتراه بعينك، وتقر به نفسك‏.‏ وإما في الآخرة بعد الوفاة، فإن مرجعهم إلى الله، وسينبئهم بما كانوا يعملون، أحصاه ونسوه، والله على كل شيء شهيد، ففيه الوعيد الشديد لهم، والتسلية للرسول الذي كذبه قومه وعاندوه‏.‏

يقول تعالى مخاطبا لرسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم "وإما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم" أي ننتقم منهم في حياتك لتقر عينك منهم "أو نتوفينك فإلينا مرجعهم" أي مصيرهم ومنقلبهم والله شهيد على أفعالهم بعدك وقد قال الطبراني: حدثنا عبدالله بن أحمد حدثنا عقبة بن مكرم حدثنا أبو بكر الحنفي حدثنا داود بن الجارود عن أبي السليل عن حذيفة بن أسيد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال "عرضت علي أمتي البارحة لدى هذه الحجرة أولها وآخرها" فقال رجل: يا رسول الله عرض عليك من خلق فكيف من لم يخلق؟ فقال "صوروا لي في الطين حتى أني لأعرف بالإنسان منهم من أحدكم بصاحبه" ورواه عن محمد بن عثمان بن أبي شيبة عن عقبة بن مكرم عن يونس بن بكير عن زياد بن المنذر عن أبي الطفيل عن حذيفة بن أسيد به نحوه.

The Criminals will certainly be avenged -- whether in This World or in the Hereafter

Allah said to His Messenger :

وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ

(Whether We show you some of what We promise them (the torment),) We shall avenge them in your lifetime so your eye will be delighted.

أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ

(Or We cause you to die -- still unto Us is their return,) Allah will then be the Witness watching over their actions for you. Allah then said,

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولٌ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمْ

(And for every Ummah there is a Messenger; when their Messenger comes,) Mujahid said: "This will be on the Day of Resurrection.

قُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ

(the matter will be judged between them with justice,) is similar to the Ayah:

وَأَشْرَقَتِ الاٌّرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا

(And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allah),) 39:69 So every nation will be presented before Allah in the presence of its Messenger and the Book of its deeds. All good and evil deeds will be witnessed upon them. Their guardian angels will be witnesses too. The nations will be brought forth, one by one. Our noble Ummah, while it is the last of the nations, is the first one on the Day of Resurrection to be questioned and judged. This was stated by Allah's Messenger ﷺ in a Hadith recorded by both Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Allah's Messenger ﷺ said:

«نَحْنُ الْآخِرُونَ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، الْمَقْضِيُّ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ الْخَلَائِق»

(We are the last, the first on the Day of Resurrection. We will be judged before the rest of the creatures.) His Ummah attains the honor of precedence only by the honor of its Messenger , may Allah's peace and blesings be upon him forever, until the Day of Judgement.

And whether wa-immā the nūn of the conditional particle in has been assimiliated with the extra mā We show you something of that which We promise them of chastisement during your lifetime the response to the conditional statement has been omitted in other words understand it as being fa-dhāka ‘then so shall it be’ or We take you to Us before punishing them to Us they shall return and God moreover is Witness Aware of what they do in the way of their denials and disbelief and so will chastise them with the severest punishment.

Commentary

In verse 45, it was said: يَتَعَارَ‌فُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ (they will recognize each other), that is, when the dead will be raised from their graves, they will recognize each other as if not much time had passed when they met last.

Imam al-Baghawi said: This recognition will be possible during the

early stage. Later, when the horrendous happenings of the Qiyamah, the Day of Doom, will unfold, this ability to recognize each other will stand disabled. According to some other narrations, the ability to recognize each other will, though, still remain, but such will be the awe of the situation that they will be unable to say anything. (Mazhari)
